Salud de Mesilla

Hubby and I were passing through on a very long journey from Houston. After 7 hours of driving, I was so pleased to visit Salud de Mesilla for REAL food instead of snacks. I was also pleasantly surprised that they offered several vegan options.

The staff was so friendly, personable, and accommodating from the second we walked in the door to the moment we left. Such amazing service from our waiter Christian! I ordered the Beyond Burger with lettuce instead of a bun and a side of sweet potato fries. My husband ordered the Blueberry Turkey Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. My Beyond Burger was so delicious! the crispy vegan cheese shreds were an amazing touch! my husband said his sandwich was also very tasty and we both agreed that the ingredients were very fresh. We were both bummed that we couldn't stay longer since the outdoor patio was so relaxing and the weather was lovely. Mesilla is such a cute town that we wish we were able to stay and explore.

Whenever we are back in the area we will definitely come back, and we highly recommend trying this place out for yourself!

We came on a Friday evening around 5pm. It wasn't busy at all which was quite surprising. We sat at a high top table in the bar area where the bartender Onola "Ohn-a-lay" served us.
She ran this area like a Boss! She was very attentive and checked on us several times throughout our dining experience.
She also very friendly and suggested items on the menu that were her favorite as well as those that were very tasty.
The bar area was dim and cozy. There was upbeat music playing but not too loud.
I had the fish n chips which was cooked perfectly. Crispy on the outside and light and tender on the inside. It came with a jalapeño aioli which was quite tasty but very spicy. I love hot--but this one kicked me in the back of the throat. Jalapeños lovers will appreciate this one.
I also ordered an Old Fashioned which she finished with a maraschino dark cherry and a blood orange slice. It was made so perfectly that I had to order a second one to sip on while my husband finished off our creme brûlée. It was truly one of the best old fashioned Ive had as traveler for the last 4 years all across America.
My husband had the Classic Burger. It was juicy and had that char grill flavor and seasoned with salt and pepper just as a good quality beef should only need. The French fries were seasoned battered fries and quite delicious.
The creme brûlée may not look as present g as most because of the red sauce on top--but it's a strawberry sauce that complimented very well.
If you are passing through and want a good place to eat with many varieties as well as their own uniqueness that you'll never find anywhere else try Salud!
It's a family owned establishment with a jewelry and accessory store beside it. Unfortunately I was unable to browse because it closed at 6pm.
We'd definitely come back if we ever come back west.

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to this restaurant! I brought my adult children and my nephew to dinner and had fabulous service, absolutely delicious food, and fresh beverages. If you have a hankering for green chile, this is the spot. Our waitress, Alyssa, efficient, courteous, and knowledgeable. She also made us smile.
I highly recommend the burgers, I had the Islander and it was cooked to perfection.

I enjoyed the decor inside immensely. Tables were far enough apart that we could have private conversations.

Food service excellent highly recommend this place. Great food great service. Nice patio for dog lovers. The sign is a little hard to find because of regulations the cities put on businesses along this way.

Best service and food! Def a staple in our household to go to every couple months. The Serrano aioli with the fish is soooo tasty. Nice outdoor seating too when it's nice out

After a day of hiking White Sands, we headed to Salud de Mesilla. We had our dog, luckily he was allowed on their outdoor patio. We had margaritas and the Brie wontons And the Festival Flamed quesadilla with chicken . Delicious. We did find it silly for them to charge us $1.50 for a small container of salsa. Especially when sour cream and guacamole were included.
* hilarious that they have STL toasted ravioli on the menu! We lived there for 17 years. Found out one of the owners is from there.

The burger had a decent size and those fries went along perfectly with it. The bread was probably the factor that made it more unique. The presentation matches the ambiance that made me forget about time and enjoy the conversation.

The service is good and helpful. The server recommended some items and even explained some of the process to us which made us trust and crave the food even more.

I can't wait to return and see what else I can get from their delicious menu. Provecho!

Everything was wonderful. Food was delicious. I had the turkey blueberry sandwich. Decor was great. Service was wonderful.

Had a quick interaction here when I stopped for lunch with my wife when visiting. We had some tacos and steak with Mac and cheese. The food was wonderful and our waitress Mia was amazing. We ordered a round of drinks and enjoyed every minute of our visit.
If you're in the area give this place a try!

This restaurant was recommended by local coworkers as one to try for my vegan coworker and for patio seating.

This was one of the best meals we had during our short visit to Las Cruces. There were several items for the vegan to choose from and even a vegan cheesecake (but they were out of them that day). I eat everything but only had eyes for the pretzel appetizer. It was huge and I didn't finish it. It could definitely feed 2 people. I thought it was a lot for one person but it was a good price ($14.99) and totally worth it. If my hotel had a fridge in my room I would have taken it to go. I would absolutely go back and get that again

The patio was mostly covered and there was a good breeze so we were very comfortable. Our server, Jorge, was friendly, funny, and attentive (but not annoyingly).

I think we got there around 6pm and we're seated right away. As we left though it looked like they were on a wait. That must have been around 8 maybe?
